Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Mi Qi was startled, and stared at Gao Jing for a long time, but couldn't see anything.

Is it unintentional?

Mi Qi suppressed his doubts and said, "Sir, what you said is true."

After chatting a few words, Mi Qi got up to say goodbye.

Gao Jing sent him to the door according to the etiquette, and watched him board the carriage and leave.

Going back to the top of the building, seeing Dong Jun, Gao Jing said, "Is it Dong Huang Taiyi just now?"

Dongjun nodded, and said, "It's His Excellency Donghuang."

Gao Jing asked curiously, "He asked you to seduce me?"

"Clap!"

The bamboo slips in Dongjun's hand fell to the ground, and he felt bad all over.

"you you……"

Dong Jun was speechless, unable to speak.

On the contrary, Gao Jing was very calm, and said: "The words he said when he left, weren't they clear? Mountain ghosts, living in Wushan, Xingyunyu... Wushan Yunyu!"

Dong Jun's face turned red in an instant, he hurriedly got up and left, leaving behind a sentence: "I'm going to introduce King Qin..."

Seeing Dongjun leave, Gao Jing groped his chin and said to himself, "What is this Yinyang family doing?"

Forget it, no more!

Gao Jing shook his head, sat down in front of the desk again, picked up his pen and continued writing.

……

If you want to govern the unified Central Plains well, you can’t simply find a template of a certain dynasty system in the next 2000 years and apply it.

It is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and timely conditions.

Moreover, the internal contradictions in Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms were intricate and complicated. If they could not be straightened out, the so-called "system" would be nonsense!

However, the feudal dynasty system of more than 2000 years can still be used as a reference.

The establishment of the Han Dynasty, although the system of the Qin Dynasty continued, the concept of governing the country has been trying.

At the beginning, he used the "Huang Lao" method of doing nothing to recuperate, but he was so poor that he could not find six horses in the whole country. He was beaten by the Xiongnu in the siege of Baideng Mountain and sent his wife to marry him.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism. Although he conquered the Holy Mountain of the Huns and the Wolf Juxu Mountain, he also wiped out the family property of the Han Dynasty.

So purely "Taoism" is not enough, and neither is purely "Confucianism".

Fortunately, with more than 2000 years of accumulated knowledge, coupled with the explosion of modern knowledge, Gao Jing can also learn from it.

……

After finishing the last stroke, Gao Jing noticed that the sky was already getting slightly brighter.

Didn't sleep all night.

Right now he just wrote a general outline, but the specific implementation depends on the specific situation.

Before he had time to go to bed, Dongjun wore gorgeous clothes and said with a straight face: "King Qin wants to see you‖."

"Wait for me to wash up."

This time it wasn't Black and White Xuanjian driving the carriage, but King Qin personally sent a carriage.

It was much bigger than Gao Jing's little broken car, and it was also gorgeous, and it was still a four-horse-drawn cart.

In this era, the emperor has six horses, the princes have five, and the prince has four...

It seems that what he said to Ying Zheng at the beginning has been kept in his heart, so he can send such a specification to meet him.

The driver was an eunuch, mainly dressed in red and black, with red hair protruding from his ears, and his body was very respectful, but his eyes were hidden deeply under the high crown.

"Zhao Gao has met Mr. Gao Jing, Your Majesty welcomes you." The voice was very soft, but not sharp, but it was very comfortable to hear.

Gao Jing looked at him curiously. This Zhao Gao, who single-handedly overthrew Daqin, gave people a very good feeling at this time, making people feel a kind of spring breeze.

That's right, if the first impression really made people feel bad, he wouldn't be Ying Zheng's most trusted person.

"Sir, it's not good to keep the king waiting for a long time!" Zhao Gao's tone was a little eager, but still respectful.

"Feel sorry."

Gao Jing held the bamboo slips, smiled and apologized, and said, "Then there will be a labor order."

Eunuchs exercise power, no matter what dynasty there is no shortage.

Zhao Gao can overthrow Da Qin with one hand, in the final analysis, it is Da Qin's own problem, even if there is no Zhao Gao, there are Li Gao, Liu Gao...

Gao Jing was just curious, but he didn't think that if Zhao Gao was killed, Qin would be safe in the future.

……

With the gift of King Qin, the carriage did not encounter obstacles along the way, but it was checked a little when entering Xianyang Palace.

After walking for a while, the carriage stopped in front of the main hall.

Zhao Gao stood beside the car respectfully.

Gao Jing got off the car, nodded to Zhao Gao, and then climbed up the steps. The door of the main hall was opened, and he went straight in.

There is plenty of light in the hall, but there is still a sense of majesty and solemnity.

One person turned his back to the palace gate and faced a huge silk picture. He was dressed in casual clothes, except for a jade belt wrapped around his waist, nothing luxurious, but the grace exuded from his body was impossible to ignore.

The last time Gao Jing saw him was "Mr. Shang", but the man in front of him was already the real "King of Qin". Although his back was turned away, his tall and straight waist gave him an even more majestic aura.

"Confucian Gao Jing, I have met the King of Qin!" Gao Jing Zhengli saw it.

Ying Zheng didn't look back, but still looked at the huge silk map in front of him, and said, "Do you know what this is, sir?"

Gao Jing glanced at the silk picture and said, "Go back to King Qin, this is the real world!"

It was a map of Asia. It was shown to Li Si at the beginning, but there seemed to be errors in the restoration.

". "Yes, this is the real world!"

King Qin finally turned his head to look at Gao Jing, and said, "If it wasn't for Li Si, I'm afraid I'd never know that the world of my widow is actually just a place in the palm of my hand!"

Gao Jing looked back. Compared with the last time we met, Ying Zheng's face was a little tougher and colder.

"Senior brother Xunzi has a saying, if you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't form rivers and seas! Although the world is big, you need to go step by step!"

"Xunzi's words are right!"

King Qin nodded in agreement, stared at Gao Jing, and said, "I want to know, why did you show Li Si the world?"

Gao Jing smiled and said: "Li Si is not lacking in talent, but his ambition is not great. He just wants to be a fat mouse in the granary. If he doesn't broaden his horizons, how would he know that in this real world, fat How small a mouse is!"

"(Mr. Wang's) is interested, please sit down!"

"Thank you King Qin."

The two sat down before the case.

King Qin went straight to the point and said, "Mister, are you here for Han Fei, or for Qin?"

"It's for Han Fei, it's for Qin, and it's for the world." Gao Jing replied truthfully.

King Qin said: "Sir, please explain in detail."

Gao Jingdao: "I have a good friendship with Han Fei, and I can't bear his death. Han Fei has great talents, but Qin is not the place where he can display his talents."

The King of Qin sighed, and said: "I have talked with Han Fei several times, and I like his talent. I have invited him many times, but he was rejected... If Han Fei's talent is not used by me, I will kill him!"

The implication is that if Han Fei cannot be persuaded, there is no need to say more.

Gao Jing did not panic, changed the subject, and said, "Does the King of Qin know about the "Three Swords of Zhuangzi"?".

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Zhuangzi Three Swords", from "Zhuangzi Miscellaneous Pian".

King Huiwen of Zhao was fond of swordsmanship, and often pitted swordsmen against each other, resulting in many casualties, and he lost his morale when playing with things.

Prince Kui was very worried about this, so he invited Zhuangzi to persuade him.

When King Huiwen of Zhao saw Zhuangzi, he asked Zhuangzi about his sword skills. Zhuangzi said: "My sword skills will kill one person within ten steps, and no one will be left alive for a thousand miles."

King Zhao Huiwen was overjoyed, so he wanted someone to compete with Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi said: Please let me explain in detail, I have three swords, namely the sword of the emperor, the sword of the princes, and the sword of the common people.

The common people's sword is to be aggressive, to fight and assassinate each other, to sever the neck upwards, and to pierce the liver and lungs downwards. This is the common people's sword, no different from cockfighting.

The sword of the princes uses the wise and brave men as the front, the honest men as the guard, the virtuous men as the spine, the loyal and saintly men as the sword, and the heroic men as the pincers.This sword is straight and has no front, it is lifted above the top, the case is without bottom, and its luck is without side.The upper law rounds the heavens to smooth the three lights, the lower law squares the earth to smooth the four seasons, and neutralizes public opinion to bring peace to the four towns.Once this sword is used, it is like the shock of thunder. Within the four seals, there is no one who does not obey the emperor's order.

The Sword of the Son of Heaven, with Yanxi Stone City as the front, Qi Dai as the collar; Jin Wei as the ridge, Zhou and Song as the tan, and Han and Wei as the clip; surrounded by Siyi, surrounded by four seasons; surrounded by the Bohai Sea, with Changshan; Based on the 460 five elements, the theory of punishment is based on morality; opening is based on yin and yang, maintenance is based on spring and summer, and action is based on autumn and winter.This sword has no front, no upper lift, no lower case, no side to luck.Go up to the floating clouds and go down to the Jedi era.Once this sword is used, the princes will be conquered by the world.

Zhuangzi finally said that it is inappropriate for a king to sit on the throne of the emperor but like the sword of the common people.

……

The King of Qin naturally knew this allusion, and said: "At the beginning in South Korea, the widow once told Han Fei that the widow wanted to cast a sword for the emperor, and the widow was the one who held the sword, and he was the one who made the sword, but he refused."

Gao Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you want to be the holder of this sword, not the sword dancer?"

King Qin was taken aback: "What's the difference?"

Gao Jingdao: "The sword bearer controls the sword, and the sword dancer wields the sword. The sword is the same. Both are the masters of the sword. There is no difference."

The King of Qin frowned, and said, "They are all the masters of the sword. If there is no difference, how should the master tell the widow to choose?"

Gao Jing said solemnly: "The one who holds the sword, the direction of the heart, the direction of the sword! The sword dancer, the direction of the sword, the direction of the heart! This is the most basic difference between the two."

King Qin fell into (bhdj) deep thought.

Gao Jing continued: "Looking at the actions of the king after taking office, it seems that he is concentrating power in order to control the entire Qin country... But the huge and complicated government affairs of the Qin country, can the king handle it easily?

Is it the king who controls Qin?Or is it the state of Qin that binds the king? "
